Welcoming Everyone with the smell of Fresh Coffee and Sweated Onions

Hello reader,

I would like to welcome you to the world of Dorm Room Cooking. Here, I would be detailing my culinary experiments and cooking for a group of seven hungry guys while restricted to the bare minimum that can be possible in a tiny room for one. I will try to incorporate pictures of what I cook too. Since that would have to be done on a borrowed camera, I cannot assure you of that.
This is my first food blog and I hope you will encourage me by being a regular reader and writing your comments for the posts you read. I completely open to tips and suggestions, even from those who have never even boiled a cup of water in their life.

The first actual post will be up real soon. It will be about the basic equipment required.

Until then, enjoy my other non-food (almost) blog here.

The Joy of Simple Veggies

Vegetables contain texture, flavor and loads of nutrients, thus making them a really necessary part of the diet. This is especially true in the case of college going students for the regular dose of fast food is unable to completely fulfill our body's requirement for nutrition even though it might fill up the stomach. But, admit it, none of us really like eating vegetables. Given a choice between a healthy salad or a heart stopping bacon explosion, I would definitely choose the latter. But veggies are good, tasty and easy to make. And it does no harm to that wonderful piece of meat that has been making your mouth water. Good side dishes always add to the experience of the meal. And even simple Pan-Roasted or Sautéed Veggies will add the texture to every mouthful along with a burst of varying flavor. Some vegetables that you might consider using are: Root vegetables of various kinds, like Potatoes, Carrots, Beets etc. Beans of various kinds, like French Beans, Broad Beans, Soybeans

Cooking doesn't always involve heat and all that goes with it. Sandwiches are a great way to satisfy the midnight hunger attacks. All you require is: Some slices of bread Something to put in between With just these two components, there are so many variations possible that the world is still not tired of discovering new recipes, be it for those summertime picnics or the sophisticated tea parties. Choose a bread that you like. I prefer simple Brown Bread for my sandwiches, but you can even get yourself a Baguette and slice it up. For the inner layer I would give the following suggestions: Tomatoes Cucumber Lettuce Onions Salami Bacon Buy want you want and only as much as you need. For these stuff won't last long without proper storage which is difficult to attain outside of a refrigerator, which I am assuming that you don't have. In case you have one, go ahead and stock it up. Just have a few jars of jam or peanut butter or mayonnaise or mustard and ketchup on hand and a who

Rice and Shine!

I realized that I have been neglecting this blog for a long time. Forgive me for that, but I return not empty-handed. A bit of a news first. I wrote two recipes for the college magazine . I will post them here once the magazine gets published. Until then, I present to you "The Humble Rice". Comprised primarily of starch and fiber, rice is a source of vitamins B1 and B2 and minerals like potassium and phosphorous also, while being low in sodium content. The carbohydrates in rice are digested slowly, which allows for the body to utilize the energy over a longer time. Rice contains only traces of fat and absolutely no cholesterol, making it an extremely healthy food. Rice is a staple food in India and most of the eastern nations, with each nation having its typical dishes made from rice. The variety of dishes that can be made with rice is astounding. These grains can be used in any course of the meal, be it appetizer or soup or entrée or a side or dessert. It can be had for br
